Synopsis: The Egyptians have captured and enslaved Aida, an Ethiopian
princess. An Egyptian military commander, Radamès, struggles to choose
between his love for her and his loyalty to the King of Egypt.
Aida is a tragic opera in four acts by Giuseppe Verdi to an Italian libretto by Antonio Ghislanzoni.
Set in the Old Kingdom of Egypt, it was commissioned by Cairo's Khedivial Opera House and had
its première there on 24 December 1871, in a performance conducted by Giovanni Bottesini.
Michael Mayer’s spectacular new production premiered December 31with a splendid cast:
Soprano Angel Joy Blue, Baritone Quinn Kelsey. Director Yannick Nezet-Seguin conducts.
You need not be an opera devotee to enjoy this opera. It is a story based on a scenario by French
Egyptologist Auguste Mariette. Verdi perceived the themes of Love and Patriotism as perfect
source of musical inspiration. Let’s start the year with Musical Wonder and Grandeur!
Note: George will send out additional info about the possibility of a post-opera coffee pause…
